From Standard Work to Scalable Smart Manufacturing: Making Data and AI Work in Assembly Operations
Digital tools stall when standard work and operators are disconnected. The idea only matters if it survives real equipment, operators, data quality, and production pressure. Bryan Bauw uses "From Standard Work to Scalable Smart Manufacturing: Making Data and AI Work in Assembly Operations" to show how MES, real-time data, and AI can scale assembly improvements without losing the human workflow they are meant to support.
Session details
Many manufacturing operations are investing in digital tools, but still struggle with inconsistent processes, limited visibility, and solutions that don’t scale beyond isolated use cases. The challenge isn’t technology—it’s connecting standard work, operators, and data in a way that drives real results. This session outlines a practical approach to improving assembly performance by starting with operator enablement and standardized workflows, then layering in real-time data capture, error-proofing, and system integration through MES. Attendees will learn how to reduce variability, improve quality, and create a data foundation that supports better decision-making and enables AI-driven insights—without disrupting production.”
